YES, SHE ACTUALLY SAID IT: Abortion Champion Pelosi Worried About 'Generations To Come' | Daily Wire
On Thursday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, championing the Democratic Party’s efforts to address climate change, tweeted a message which was staggering in its hypocrisy, blathering, “We have a moral responsibility to protect God’s creation for generations to come.

Doctors Induce 25 Percent of Dutch Deaths | National Review
"An exposé on Dutch euthanasia published in The Guardian discloses that around twenty-five percent of Dutch deaths are induced/caused by doctors.
These are not all lethal-injection euthanasia deaths.
As I have written here before, many more people are killed in the Netherlands by “ terminal sedation”–a slow motion euthanasia wherein patients not in the active stage of dying are put into artificial comas and denied all sustenance until they dehydrate to death–than die by lethal jabs.
(Terminal sedation should never be confused with the proper practice of “palliative sedation,” which eases a dying patient’s symptoms while not intentionally causing death.)..."

"CNN OFFERS CRITICISM-FREE PRAISE FOR GREEN NEW DEAL; COMPARES AOC, MARKEY TO LADA GAGA, BRADLEY COOPER:
CNN special correspondent and far-left climate activist Bill “ignorant f***sticks” Weir joined afternoon CNN Newsroom host Brooke Baldwin Thursday for a criticism-free lovefest in honor of the Green New Deal. All told, the pair determined it was akin to NASA and a necessary step to save Earth without offering any questions or answers about how this move toward communism would be paid for.
If those things didn’t convince you that this four-minute-plus segment was a trainwreck, Baldwin sat in awe as Weir quipped that the Green New Deal was a love story for Earth, like A Star Is Born where Bradley Cooper could play Senator Ed Markey (D-NY) and Lady Gaga would be Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
Before her Website 404ed the specifics of her “Green New Deal” page yesterday afternoon, as Reason’s Joe Setyon wrote, “Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal Aims to Eliminate Air Travel:”
Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) today introduced a House resolution outlining her long-awaited Green New Deal. The resolution, as Reason‘s Ron Bailey reported earlier today, cites climate change concerns as justification for a plan that would remake the U.S. economy over the next 10 years.The resolution’s aims include “overhauling transportation systems in the United States to eliminate pollution and 19 greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector as much as is technologically feasible.” According to an overview of the resolution, this will be accomplished, in part, by “build[ing] out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.”
In other words, the Green New Deal wants to make commercial air travel obsolete. Is this in any way feasible? The short answer is no. “It’s actually probably even dumber than it seems,” says Baruch Feigenbaum, assistant director of transportation policy at the Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes this website.
But in the meantime, if CNN’s correspondents, like virtually all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, are behind Ocasio-Cortez’s proposals, shouldn’t they help ratchet them forward by insisting upon the removal of CNN from all American airports?.---Posted by Ed Driscoll"

Feeling Sick? You Could Have 'Trump Anxiety Disorder' | Daily Wire
Feeling Sick? You Could Have 'Trump Anxiety Disorder' | Daily Wire- President Donald Trump is making some leftists sick ... literally.
Politico Magazine reported this week that the President is causing all sorts of maladies in his political opponents, from sexual dysfunction to flat-out depression, and in some cases the president is so single-handedly responsible for patients' psychological instability that qualified therapists have made him into a diagnosis: Trump Anxiety Disorder..."

Trump Was Right to Highlight Economic Successes | The Heritage Foundation
Trump Was Right to Highlight Economic Successes | The Heritage Foundation:
There are some facts that are indeed facts, regardless of partisan affiliation or ideology. And one example is that America is better off now than it was two years ago and Trump was right to highlight those successes.
The country’s unemployment rate is the lowest since 1969 and the lowest in 65 years for women. No one has been left behind: Unemployment among African Americans, at 5.9 percent in May, is the lowest ever recorded. There are now more job openings in America than there are unemployed people.
But it’s not just jobs, workers are also keeping more of the money they earn.

New Jersey residents face possible 'rain tax' | Fox News
New Jersey residents face possible 'rain tax' | Fox News:
The bill, approved by the New Jersey Assembly and the Senate, would allow municipalities to create utilities that can collect fees from homeowners and business owners that have large paved surfaces, like driveways and parking lots. During storms, rainwater mixes with pollutants on those surfaces before running into sewers and drains. The funding from the fees could be used for upgrades to reduce the impact on the environment.

Democrats' 'Green New Deal' Is Really A Call For Enviro-Socialism | Investor's Business Daily
Democrats' 'Green New Deal' Is Really A Call For Enviro-Socialism | Investor's Business Daily
"The far-left Democrats finally unveiled their plan for their "Green New Deal."
It's a shocking document, essentially a call for enviro-socialism in America.
It's no doubt prompting many across the nation to wonder:
Has this once-respectable political party of the working class gone collectively mad?
It sure seems that way.
Reading the Green New Deal (GND) plan, put out Thursday by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, one is tempted to think it's not real, just a joke from the satirical "The Onion."
The individual planks in the plan, individually and collectively, sound like the rantings of someone who should be institutionalized, not like a rational political plan to solve a real problem.
Let's begin with what the plan promises: "a massive transformation of our society with clear goals and a timeline."
That's a sweeping, explicit pledge of radical socialist change.
And that's not all.
It offers "a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society at a scale not seen since World War 2 to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and create economic prosperity for all."
That's right: 10 years.
They've made it the "moral equivalent of war," that phrase by American philosopher William James that the left pulls out every time they want to impose radical change on the rest of us.
'Massive Transformation'

New Judicial Watch Lawsuit for FBI Documents on Anti-Trump Collusion
New Judicial Watch Lawsuit for FBI Documents on Anti-Trump Collusion:
Judicial Watch sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel the FBI to comply with our January 5, 2018, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:19-cv-00177). The lawsuit seeks:
Any and all records of communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages and instant chats, sent between Baker and any of the following individuals: former British intelligence officer Steele, principal of Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd.; Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS; former GPS contractor Nellie Ohr; and/or David Corn, a reporter with Mother Jones magazine.
The FBI claimed it had no responsive records, but Baker was deeply involved with the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign and is currently the subject of a criminal investigation for leaking to the media.

Moore’s Law is dying. Here’s how AI is bringing it back to life!
Moore’s Law is dying. Here’s how AI is bringing it back to life!:"Moore’s Law, one of the fundamental laws indicating the exponential progress in the tech industry, especially electronic engineering, has been slowing down lately (since 2005, to be more precise), and has led many in this sector to believe this law to no longer hold true.
That was, until Artificial Intelligence joined the arena!
Since then, the game changed, and Moore’s law is slowly being revived.
...Right there, Artificial Intelligence is imposing a constraint: keep the power constant or decrease it, but increase performance…
...Exactly, by forcing the tech industry to come up with new processors which can perform more calculations per unit time, while maintaining power consumption and price, Artificial Intelligence is imposing Dennard Scaling again, and hence forcing Moore’s Law back to life!"

Roger Stone's lawyer offers proof CNN is in bed with FBI
Roger Stone's lawyer offers proof CNN is in bed with FBI:
Documentation was released yesterday, reportedly from Roger Stone's lawyer, that claims that CNN didn't just happen upon Mr. Stone's home right before a 29-person FBI team raided it and took him into custody based on a "gut instinct," as the FBI claimed. The letter was produced by Mr. Stone's lawyer, Grant Smith, who sent it to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. It details a frightening tale of CNN acting on behalf of the FBI in regard to the continual Russia probe.
The proof that CNN was tipped off by an official within the FBI investigation to Roger Stone's pending indictment and home raid is evident in the damning omission that comes on the final page of the letter:

Revising the history of big, climate-altering volcanic eruptions | Watts Up With That?
Revising the history of big, climate-altering volcanic eruptions | Watts Up With That?
"For all their destructive power, most volcanic eruptions are local events.
Lava flows tend to reach only a few miles at most, while airborne ash and soot travel a little farther. But occasionally, larger eruptions can launch particles into the stratosphere, more than 6 miles above Earth’s surface.
The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines–the world’s largest eruption in the past 100 years–is a prime example of a stratospheric eruption.
When volcanic particles reach the stratosphere they stay aloft for a long time, reflecting sunlight and temporarily cooling the planet.
By understanding the history of these big eruptions, researchers can begin to place short cooling episodes and other discrete climate events into the context of large-scale climate patterns.
...“For eruptions that are intense enough to inject material into the stratosphere, there is a telltale signature in the sulfur isotope ratios of sulfate preserved in ancient ice layers,” explained Farquhar, who also has an appointment in UMD’s Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center.
“By instead focusing on this distinct sulfur isotope signature, our new method yielded some surprising and useful results.
We found that prior reconstructions missed some stratospheric events and falsely identified others.”
...“This is a strength of our approach, because these events would have a climate impact but are missed by other methods,” Farquhar said.
“We have made a significant improvement to the reconstruction of large stratospheric eruptions that occurred over the past 2,600 years.
This is critically important for understanding the role of volcanic eruptions on climate and possibly for understanding certain events in human history, such as widespread famines.
It can also help to inform future climate models that will take large volcanic events into account.”

VIDEO: Venezuelan socialism victims send message to American socialists
VIDEO: Venezuelan socialism victims send message to American socialists
- Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips attended a protest with victims of Venezuelan socialism.
- Attendees seemed to overwhelmingly agree on one thing: Don't do it.
...As Campus Reform has repeatedly reported, the popularity of socialism has been on the rise, especially among college students.
According to Gallup, the majority of Democrats view socialism more favorably than Capitalism.
Wanting to know if the people who support socialism had ever heard from people who’ve suffered under it, Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips headed to a Venezuelan Freedom rally in Washington, D.C.
It soon became abundantly clear that the Venezuelans in attendance were horrified by the idea of bringing socialism to the United States.
Asking them, “What is your message to those who want socialism here,” the attendees were in agreement: don’t do it.
“You do not ever want anything close to socialism,” one attendee said, while another added, “people are eating from trash cans in the streets, so how has socialism helped?”
Another attendee, whose family is still in Venezuela, said, “No Venezuelan can like socialism, because we’ve seen it put in place very well.”
What else did they have to say? Watch the full video:

But in an application to the Texas Bar in 1986 she wrote in her own hand that her “race” was “American Indian.”

"Will the last Democrat politician in Virginia without a blackface picture please turn out the lights?
Live Blog | February 7, 2019 07:00:51 | PJ Media
"Will the last Democrat politician in Virginia without a blackface picture please turn out the lights?
Yesterday, we learned that the Democrat attorney general of Virginia, Mark Herring, wore blackface at a party in 1980.
"Will the last Democrat politician in Virginia without a blackface picture please turn out the lights?
In the 80s, the thing to do in Virginia was take pictures in blackface apparently.
Yesterday, we learned that the Democrat attorney general of Virginia, Mark Herring, wore blackface at a party in 1980.
We learned this after he called for Democrat Governor Ralph Northam to step down from office because *he* appeared in blackface (or in a KKK outfit) in his medical school yearbook.
Northam initially admitted the blackface picture was him but subsequently changed his mind and currently denies he is the blackface on the page bearing his name in his medical school yearbook.The man who’s second in line to become Virginia’s governor on Wednesday admitted that he too has worn blackface — just days after he called on Gov. Ralph Northam to resign for the same thing...
...Does anyone think that either one of these jokers, Northam or Herring, would be accorded any courtesy by the media if they were Republicans.
No.
There would be special theme songs on cable and network news, there would be special graphics, there would be people interviewing every person that ever went to school with these blackfacers.
They would be parked outside their residences, following relatives around, going through trash, confrontations by angry activists captured on video, think of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing as a paradigm.
Why aren't we seeing this?..."
